I have customized my web site to include the file resume2.xml from the trunk

I am using forrest-0.9 and I am attempting to transform resume2.xml in jetty into PDF by clicking on the link with the PDF icon.

I have installed the resume plugin by copying the resume plugin of trunk into the folder $FORREST_HOME/whiteboard/plugins . There is a tiny potential version mismatch as my FORREST_HOME is version 0.9 and the plugin is from trunk.
At the startup of forrest I see this message : No locationmap provided for plugin org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.Resume

I can see in html the resume2, but once I click on the link for PDF I see this message : INTERNAL SERVER ERROR ... Error(Unknown location): fo:inline is not a valid child element of fo:list-block.

I think somewhere in the documentation of forrest there is a paragraph explaining how to debug transformations, and I googled the error above, some people say that it happens when an empty <ul/> tag is generated in a transformation ? Not sure.

I just added a patch which resolves the issue of getting a PDF, at least in my use case.
The problem could probably also be fixed in a different way by hardening the stylesheets which transform from <document/> to fo format.
Likely it is only helper-commonElements.xsl which would need to become more strict.
